I'd like to suggest that the strictly non-partisan rules of the UFOs subreddit was a good thing that helped keep people focused and avoided tribalist bickering. In that vein, it might be a good idea to remove the reference to 45 in the community header image, and replace it with "Congress" as Congress are the ones leading a current bipartisan push to determine whether they've been lied to or not.

Nah, it's funny
The lack of serious reply to discuss it isn't encouraging. To be clear, I also find it funny and don't like 45 at all, but that's not the point. What made that sub successful was that it was a serious place that was well moderated. Branding is important if you want something taken seriously.
I agree, partisanship is everywhere on the internet nowadays. With a topic like this, especially it's reputation, I feel it's important to filter out irrelevant, petty, politics and focus more on the topic, as it's relates to existence in itself.
Keen to see this community grow. I don't wanna skulk back to reddit for my UFO news.
If we could take the UFOs sub and get them to migrate here that would be perfect. Given time I think it will.
Yeah! Maybe not...everyone from that sub though...
Sorry I donβt know why it just spam posted lmao, my comment was
Lmao yeah on second thought maybe not everyone
Never really visited the sub much on Reddit until Grusch popped up but this disclosure thing drew me in as a lurker. Now that Iβm on lemmy, I decided what the heck and subscribed. Looking forward to many interesting conversations and a rational exchange of crazy ideas!
Iβm excited to see your community grow, keep it up!
Thanks for kicking off the forum for us. Iβm looking forward to being a part of it.
I'm here for some fun, let's make this community awesome.
For all that don't want to open Reddit, there's an instance archiving posts to lemmy (lemmit.online) you can follow and crosspost to other communities [ !ufos@lemmit.online](https://c/ufos@lemmit.online)
It looks like other subs have bots that automatically cross post to Lemmy. Would be nice for this sub.
Cross post from where?
